iPhone Users in Colorado Can Now Add IDs to Wallet App

[MacRumors]

iPhone and Apple Watch owners in Colorado are now able to add their IDs and licenses to the Wallet app to serve as a form of identification in lieu of a physical card for TSA checkpoints at select airports.

Colorado's Department of Revenue announced the news today, and said that the Wallet-based ID or license can be presented at select TSA checkpoints at the Denver airport. Digital IDs are available to individuals with a current, valid Colorado-issued driver license or ID.

The Department of Revenue says that the Wallet ID is designed to be a companion to the physical driver's license or ID, and it is not a replacement. Coloradans must continue to carry their physical driver license or ID with them, and the Wallet ID can only be used at airports.

Apple with iOS 15 added support for allowing users from participating U.S. states to add their licenses and state IDs to the Wallet app, and so far, Arizona, Maryland, and Colorado support the feature.

Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Utah are also working on support.

Good luck with that. Here in Arizona we have had Digital ID for months, but I have gone through the signup procedure in the Wallet app on two separate occasions and heard nothing for the Motor Vehicle Department.

I want this too. Come on California!

Interesting. I live in CO and last week flew out of Denver airport. Amusingly, at the TSA checkpoint, they had a thing where they could supposedly scan only my license without having to scan my boarding pass, *but* that system didn't actually work for CO licenses, so I had to scan my pass anyway. Curious to see if this new thing fixes that.

Fwiw, I don't yet have the option to add a CO ID in my Wallet app. Maybe it's something in 16.1.1, which I haven't updated to yet.

Who do we need to bug to make this happen in Texas? I'm on vacation this week and can make calls and write emails.

 

[htvicar]

Colorado ID option does not appear yet on my phone 😪

 

[cateye]

No option here either, yet (also CO resident)

EDIT: Oh, whoops, didn't realize 16.1.1 is out too. Will try updating first and then see.

EDIT2: After 16.1.1 update, option is now there! woohoo.

I thought this was happening soon. I logged into the MyColorado app today and my DL was automatically in there.

I love that this company is in California, but we can’t do it here…

 

[BrownyQ]

*sigh*

If only my state were quicker on adopting these kinds of features... fear we'll be on iOS 20 before I can have this...

 

[antiprotest]

Is the Department of Revenue typically responsible for this?

You've been able to add your DL to the MyColorado app for some time, but it was captive inside that app. This step allows it to live in Wallet, along with everything else.

I’m so jealous here in Texas.

We will be last to get it.

We will be last to get it.

I thought Nevada, Las Vegas was going to be the last one. It’s such a vast city. I guess it depends on how fast the government is approving this.

 

[lmcrael]

Hopefully this comes to North Carolina soon, considering Apple is putting a campus here.

 

[WilliApple]

Guess who lives in Colorado!!!

 

[Attirex]

Digital ID is woke ******* trash! Stop the steal! Elon 2024!

Did I do that right?

I’m just whining. You’d think being a big tech state like we are that something like this might move a little quicker. But I’m not sure how the process works, so I guess I should be patient. Waiting sucks! 😋

 

[DanteHicks79]

I'm genuinely surprised that there's not even a hint that California is working on allowing this. You'd think the tech capital of the world would be jumping all over this, especially since we just approved the ePlates for cars...

Guess who lives in Colorado!!!

Dang! You are lucky. You should think about going to Aspen, Colorado in the upcoming months.

Finally! The MyColorado app is trash, every time I actually need it I'm prompted for signin again and gotta do the 2FA runaround. Although Wallet doesn't show the option for me yet... Edit: I see I had to update!

 

[djinn]

Yay for Colorado! Received the CO DMV Approval and now in wallet. Pretty easy to add.

Wow that was quick. I just added mine and was ready to use in 5min!!! Super cool

Really interesting process. Scanned front and back of license, then lots of face scans, sort of like when you set up FaceID, then it all gets sent automatically to the Colorado DMV. Then you wait for approval.

EDIT: aaand there it is, like 3 minutes later. It just shows up in Wallet. Neat.
